Last year around this time, you may recall getting a flurry of emails from various vendors like Google, Apple, and even your friends here at Devolutions, informing you about their obligations and your rights under the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which had been adopted by the European parliament in April 2016 and had come into effect in May 2018.

What’s more, if you live and work outside of Europe, you may have been scratching your head and wondering if on some sign-up form you mistakenly noted that you live in Paris, France, instead of Paris, Texas; London, England, instead of London, Canada; or Perth, Scotland, instead of Perth, Australia. Rest assured that you did indeed get the right email — and this article will explain why.

Since the beginning here at Devolutions, most of our marketing and advertising has been driven by “word of mouth” referrals and recommendations from our satisfied customers around the globe. And to thank our community for their efforts and loyalty, we have created the Devolutions Affiliates Program.

This week's #DevolutionsHQ is a special edition interview with bestselling author, keynote speaker, and futurist - Nikola Danaylov. We discuss the future of technology, AI, and the importance of having a WHY in the IT workplace. Watch or just minimize and listen to the podcast. https://youtu.be/W0GhElJTGGQ

Welcome fight fans to our main event of the night – the heavyweight championship of the account protection world! In the red corner is the popular fan favorite: PASSWORD. And in the blue corner is the fearless and powerful contender: PASSPHRASE.

The beauty of AI lies in its ability to learn from previous data. And it uses that previous data to make recommendations and predictions. Financial enterprises and insurance companies are already using AI to make decisions about the risk levels of potential borrowers and customers, and they do so by churning accumulated data from past consumer behavior.

The more clothes you have, the more drawers you need to keep things neat and tidy (actually for me, I just need a beautiful, glorious, huge walk-in closet!). Well, the same goes for entries: the more you have, the more vault you need.

What Are Vaults in RDM 2019.1?

Vaults, which used to be named Repositories in RDM’s previous versions, are virtual drawers that let you organize your entries into multiple vaults, which are stored in the same data source (either Devolutions Password Server, MySQL or SQL Server).

Vaults improve security and boost performance, since using them limits the volume of entries that are loaded at the same time. It also simplifies user management, as Active Directory groups define who has access to a vault.

Password Vault Manager has been around for many years helping non-technical users manage their passwords in a similar way that was similar to Remote Desktop Manager. However, Password Vault Manager was never designed to specifically address the needs of business users.

We have been working closely with our customers over the last year to better understand the specific needs of their business users, and this has resulted in the Devolutions Password Server web application, along with the Devolutions Web Login browser extension for credential injection and autofill in websites and applications.

Our CEO David Hervieux described the transition in this way: “With Devolutions Password Hub, which is currently in preview mode and due to be released in the near future, we can offer a very robust and secure cloud-based password management platform that is far superior to Password Vault Manager – ideal for both technical and non-technical business users, and focused on team environments and sharing.”

In the past, we’ve asked you to share what remote access tool you use. With this month’s poll, we’re diving deeper and would like to know about your experiences. Specifically, we’d like to know: what are the biggest pros and cons of your remote access tool?

Last month, we asked you to let us know whether your organization is using session recording – along with an explanation for why it is or why it isn’t. It turns out the overwhelming majority of you are not using session recording in your organization.
